You have a strange (kinda weird) obsession with Zelensky.

Ukraine is saying 40k, and apparently US Congress briefing yesterday said 75k KIA and WIA combined so 57k KIA seems high IMO

UPDATE ON UKRAINE 28 July 2022
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
Ukraine's counter-offensive in Kherson is gathering momentum. Their forces have highly likely established a bridgehead south of the Ingulets River, which forms the northern boundary of Russian-occupied Kherson.
Ukraine has used its new long range artillery to damage at least three of the bridges across the Dnipro River which Russia relies upon to supply the areas under its control. One of these, the 1,000 metre long Antonivsky bridge near Kherson city, was damaged last week. Ukraine struck it again on 27 July 2022 and it is highly likely that the crossing is now unusable.
Russia's 49th Army is stationed on the west bank of the Dnipro River and now looks highly vulnerable. Similarly, Kherson city, the most politically significant population centre occupied by Russia, is now virtually cut off from the other occupied territories. Its loss would severely undermine Russia's attempts to paint the occupation as a success.

How many troops do the Russians have on the west side of the Dnipro river? What kind of long range support is available for the Russians, I mean why can’t they use their artillery advantage to forestall a Russian advance?

The key factor is that without a supply route, or a viable escape route, whatever the Russians have is all they will get, and every day of fighting wastes those assets. It isn’t that the Russians don’t have a viable force located in that area (I really don’t know any specifics about what is actually there), it’s that they may be limited to a fixed firepower while the Ukrainians have the ability to flow supplies and push forward with pressure.

Did you mean "forestall a Ukrainian advance"?

The response from my retired A-10 squadron commander friend notes how armor needs bigtime service after 200 hrs (up to speed in RPM) or 8 days means that without supplies the Russian tanks will be useless. Now it makes sense why Russia has dug in its armor along the Kherson Front. Running around when not needed requires a lot more logistical support, fuel, lube oil, and even repairs.

If you watched the videos of the fighting from Sievierodonetsk the Russia strategy was to shoot a few RPGs at the Ukrainian positions and then charge hoping that the RPGs suppressed enough of the Ukrainians fire to allow them some of the Russian soldiers to reach the Ukrainian positions. According to my sauce(s) in Ukraine, their goal for the Battle of Sievierodonetsk was to delay Russia by 2 weeks and hopefully kill 20,000 Russians. They said that they accomplished their goals because they held the Russians up for 6 weeks and killed over 20,000 Russians. IDK if the 57,000 number is accurate or not, but I would not be surprised if it is close to the real number.

I keep seeing estimates from 54k to 59k over the last week.
Severodonetsk was a meat grinder for the Russians. They lost upwards to a 1000 pieces of equipment, including tanks, trucks, artillery and aircraft. Russia did NOT move forward from Severodonetsk but more a pullout by Ukraine from the advance out of Popansa. Logistics really matter and main highway easily attacked would be the reason for the withdrawal. Ukraine had been pounding from a 500 foot elevation covering the open plain behind the city to the east and west of it.
Note that Russia is likely not claiming casualties of personnel coming from areas occupied since 2014 (conscripts with no training and up to 65 years of age) or from Putin's Neo Nazis, the Wagner Group, but only its actual military

More than 75,000 Russians have been killed or injured in the war in Ukraine so far, according to classified estimates from the Biden administration.
The classified briefing, which was first reported by CNN, was provided to lawmakers in the House of Representatives.
Casualty estimates for militaries on both sides are highly speculative, US officials have warned. They often give ranges rather than specific numbers, though just last week, the CIA director estimated that 60,000 Russian soldiers had been killed or injured. Some estimates have gone as high as 80,000 casualties.
There is definitely some fire behind the smoke of 57,000 casualties.

Russia violated an agreement to invade in 2014 right after Chevron, Exxon and Shell each signed multibillion dollar contracts to develop oilfields in Ukraine. This would have killed Russia's main market of Europe for Russia
It is strange this wasn't recognized as the cause of nearly everything that followed.
The timing and location of the big discoveries are conveniently identical to the timing and regions of Ukraine Russia invaded

All journalists are morons regardless of political leaning or lack of. When a journalist gets something correct, it is by mistake.

Good to see the link. I wanted to know the source of the comment, and you provided it.
Your commentary has got to be sarcasm bc I’m the furthest thing from a Putin apologist.
